Just a funny story then ended pretty well...

I currently work in a mall. I left my cell phone behind the counter and was going to get some lunch upstairs. I get my food. Eat it. Then go back behind the register. I see my cell phone isn't there, car keys, glasses still there. I'm ask the other employee, "Did you move my phone?" She was like no, so i then call my phone... don't here it. So I then think it got stolen and I think of the customers that were in the store. Now weekdays aren't that busy so I elimated 3-4 customers and then remebered two kids looking at the video games when I got my food.

So I call Cingular and turn off the phone. Then I tell the other employee I'll be back in a few. So I go to my car and drive to the bus stop (that's where a lot of people go after they steal at this mall). I drive up to the bus stop, bumpin my system and everyone's lookin at the car...

I see the kids. They didn't recognize me cause I changed shirts and I guess they were busy lookin at the flashy car. So I see one of them have a cell phone in their hand. Guess whos? MINE.

I grabbed it from them, started yelling etc. Had the cops come. It was quite an interesting day. Everyone liked the car by the way. F'ers that steal cell phones should die...

hahaha, awesome...

haha thats crazy good thing you stayed on your p's and q's glad you got for phone back

Sweet. I wouldn't have called the cops though.

I managed a sprint store for 4 years and all of our demo phones were live phones. People were always trying to swipe the phones. Even our regular customers would swipe them. My fav would be to let some one take the phone, then text it with this message "GPS Enabled On Phone, Please Remain Where You Are At For Police Arrival". The customers would instantly return the phone with some lame excuse like they didnt realize they had taken the phone and stuck it in their pocket.

sweet........ you're dippin' at the bus station lol

Sweet. I wouldn't have called the cops though.

I would've and I'm glad you did. Makes for a better lesson for little punks like that. If he had just handled it himself, they would've been like "whew, that was close" but now they can think "Hmm, I have a prior, maybe I shouldn't"...

If you don't stop it when they're young, they're just gonna get worse...

a nice old man kick in the ___ would have topped it off ....

Yeah well he stole, hence I called the cops... it was that or i hit the kid, and I get arrested... i chose not to hit the kid, though he deserved a beating

yo wat mall was that at franklin mills?

also i mean i like your thinking and all. but my experience with theft, a phone can be replaced but i mean if the people had a gun or something it coulda been bad.

also if they see your scion around now or mistake your scion for my scion :oops:

if i get keyed or busted tails or somethin now i know who to blame :lol:

It was the Springfield Mall in Springfield PA. I don't think they'll confuse my scion w/ yours unless you got a hot lava. The whole gun thing... well i drove up quickly, he had no clue who I was when when i ripped the phone out of his hands. I got in my car, got out of there and only came back w/ the cops. Obviously getting shot over such a stuipd thing would suck (especialliy if i died) but I got my principles. It's who I am, even if i pay the ulitimate price for it.

"GPS Enabled On Phone, Please Remain Where You Are At For Police Arrival".

schhhwwwweeeeeet! 2nd best story I ever heard. Would have been the 1st if you had slapped them then said "I'm Rick James _____!!" :D

yeh i am a person of my principals as well. but you gotta be realistic. well i have to be now, considering i've had a gun pulled on me in broad daylight when i was trying to stick with principal. no i dont have a hot lava. i have camo im trying to avoid flashiness and im still getting keyed :cry:

Now just hope they don't come back and mess with your Xb that would really suck.

Well if they do anything to my car, i have an alarm system w/ fm band transmitter that works up to 3/4 of a mile. It pages me if anything is going on w/ the car. Yes I'm sure having a gun pulled on me would change things 4 me but hopefully that will never occurr.

Dude, that's awesome! Sounds like the car attracted enough attention to actually keep you safe in this situation. Not that criminals are all that bright, but most understand the stupidity of violence in front of a crowd that is oggling the car.

Glad this story had a good ending. Good job calling the cops too. You should've took them behind the woodshed (or bus stop in this case) and given them a little beating to remember you by.

i had something simalar happen, i owned a gas station and some customer took my husbands phone i dialed the number and acted like a police woman...he gave me his address and my husband picked the phone up...and the guy asked for a reward.......lol

a beating isn't something to remember somebody by. That's the dumbest thing i've ever heard.... my car got keyed and if i had seen who did it, (hypothetically) kicked their ___ and drove away, i would feel like a dip____. Why? because thats a lame thing to do, that shows somebody that i'm lower than they are.


Honestly, if you had really wanted to ____ with them and teach them a lession, you would have gone up to them, told them you knew they had stolen your phone, and that you wanted 100 bucks from them or you would call the cops. Nobody is flipping out and looking like a dumbass, and those kids would've known how it felt to be ____ed with and stolen from. (not to mention you get a hundred bucks).


Rapists are put in prision for years at a time then released, only to rape again. I bet if they had been raped right back instead of going to jail they would've thought twice about doing it again...


just my take on this, i hope i haven't offended anybody
